On tap at Frisco Taphouse & Brewery in Columbia, MD.
Opaque, brown-black with a creamy, dark tan head and excellent lacing.
Aroma of caramel, sweet roasted malt, sweet chocolate and citrus.
Sweet taste of roasted malt, dark fruit, caramel, chocolate and citrus. Although this is a very sweet brew, a significant citric hop presence manages to press it's way through the malt.
Full body and medium carbonation.

Thick, roasty chocolatey stout with a hint of plastic phenol. Not bad, but my hyper intolerance to phenols kept me from enjoying this beer.

Pour out of 12 oz bottle, thanks Aaron! Dark brownish black pour with tan head, aroma brings notes of dark chocolate, coffee, hints of dark fruits, slight cherry. Taste is a mix of dark fruit, chocolate, hints of anise, coffee, toffee, hints of molasses, finishing fairly bitter, roasted, chocolate forward. Pretty good, the dms in the aroma is tough.
